The Supreme Court Bar Association along with the Bar Council of India will shortly address a press conference soon.

Justice J Chelameswar, Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Justice Madan B Lokur and Justice Kurien Joseph had held the press conference alleging that that the administration of the top court is “not in order” and many “things less than desirable” have happened in last few months.

Dushyant Dave, senior advocate in SC: The real test is how CJI will deal with Justice Loya’s case. The matter does requires serious concern. Justice Arun Misra’s bench shouldn’t hear this case. Judges meeting politicians not right, they must be completely aloof. I never tried to hijack the Loya petition from Tehseen Poonawala. Why are such sensitive cases being sent to court number 10? The country must know what is going on.
